It looks like CNBC is going to feature XYBR tonight at 6:00 PM. XYBR is the company who makes that wearable computer in the IBM commercial where the guy is trading online, while feeding the pigeons in the park... BUY! BUY! scroll down, SELL! SELL! BUY IT!! etc. Love that commercial... Anyone here own any of that stock? I thought I saw someone mention it here... How are the patents? Lock tight or swiss cheese? -XybernautClappy

John- Need to sell some more to the Fido bandits by tomorrow. Any advice out there? qcom's at 135 1/2 in afterhours. it's not wonderful but might be worth pulling the trigger if you're on a one day deadline. personally, if i have no option, i make them pull it out of my fingers and sell it themselves. datek only sells what they need to settle - i don't know what fido might do. did you say they raised the maintenance level to 80% for concentrated qcom position? unbelievable. i'd make them pull it outta my hands in a case like that and then i scream and cry and say, "ouch! you're hurting me." -elpo

TG, Emergency sale. Need to sell some more to the Fido bandits by tomorrow. Any advice out there? Can you write any cc's on any of your other stocks to keep yourself out of the margin call? I know the timing may not be great with the Naz due to begin climbing again, but atleast you would get to keep your Q shares. ELON's Technicals are pointed to sell, where QCOM is ready for a rally perhaps. (Jim, what do you think about their TA?) Do you own any ELON? I don't know if they will stay down for a whole month, but maybe it would buy you some time as QCOM hopefully takes off, giving you more available cash... If Q goes up enough you could then buy back your ELON calls. Good luck. -Clappy P.S. Volty, what do you think about this method?
